Operation Abhyaas: Simulating Safety in Delhi

In an extensive effort to bolster public safety, authorities in Delhi conducted mock security drills under the nationwide initiative 'Operation Abhyaas'. The drills, held across 55 locations, replicated emergencies such as air raids and fires, with key sites including Khan Market and Select Citywalk Mall.

These drills aimed to enhance awareness and preparedness by simulating real-world hostile situations. Authorities deployed a significant number of security personnel, fire engines, and PCR vans across the city. Volunteers demonstrated essential rescue and safety techniques, while authorities briefed the public on emergency protocols.

Notably, the drills came amid heightened tensions in the region following missile strikes by the Indian armed forces. As part of the training, civilians participated in evacuation exercises and learned how to handle crises effectively, underscoring the importance of community involvement in emergency management.
